By RTF Guest Writer Elora Ramirez
Sometimes, the biggest step we can make with grace is the acknowledgment of the wrecking ball of pain inside.
My recognition came in the form a whisper and a prayer.
The minute I admitted my childhood abuse the power shifted and I knew nothing would be the same.
For years, my concept of [...]]]></description>

“You are a liar.”
Although I would normally never encourage anyone to speak these words, there is an exception to that rule when it comes to one thing: an eating disorder. In fact, if you have an eating disorder, I encourage you to look it in the face and tell it, “You [...]]]></description>

The word change brings a lot of random thoughts to my mind. The change I have in my wallet, for instance.
I don’t care much about it.
I rarely use change unless I’m getting something out of a vending machine, which is next to never. I usually pay with some crisp bills and then [...]]]></description>

“I’m just saying… I love you.”
Whoah. Hold up. Rewind – fast forward – anything to get me out of this awkward moment. Did Joe really just say he loved me? How did we go from football-talk to romance-talk in 3.5 seconds? How did he seriously think I was interested?
He was, after [...]]]></description>

Debra Weiss interviews Laura Farrar
Laura Farrar is part of a courageous generation determined to reach out and do something about the problems they see in the world around them.
Because Laura Farrar has struggled with eating disorders, depression, and self-injury, she understands the pain and secrecy they bring. Discontent to just talk about these issues, Laura is determined [...]]]></description>

As a youth culture columnist, I&#8217;m always on the lookout for great new books that tie in culture and Christ.
As stand-alone articles, I think the content is great. But as a book and small group study guide? Not so much. I was excited to get this book, especially as a fan of Christianity today and [...]]]></description>

I sat in my car and read the texts I received from the small group in youth D-class that morning. They were amazing.
I taught a lesson called &#8220;Something to Say&#8221;, sharing how each of the disciples died a martyrs&#8217; death&#8211;all but John.
&#8220;Why would they give their life? Why would they keep talking about Jesus even [...]]]></description>
